Modular Tiles

A sample modular JavaFX application configured with Layrry.

Build

Prerequisites

• JDK 11

• Maven 3.6.3 or Gradle 6+ (project includes wrappers for each)

• Layrry 1.0.0.Alpha1

• jbang (optional)

Download Layrry from https://github.com/moditect/layrry/releases/tag/1.0.0.Alpha1, or install it via SDKMAN!, or build it from source. JDK 11 is needed to build Layrry.

$ git clone https://github.com/moditect/layrry.git
$ cd layrry
$ mvn install

Once Layrry is installed, change back to where you cloned this repository.

Maven

$ ./mvnw install

Gradle

$ ./gradlew assemble publishToMavenLocal

Plugins will be placed under staging/plugins-prepared at the root.

Run

Run it directly from the layrry-launcher JAR (assuming Layrry repo was cloned adjacent to this repo)

$ java -jar ../../layrry/layrry-launcher/target/layrry-launcher-1.0.0.Alpha1-all.jar --layers-config staging/layers.toml --properties staging/versions.properties

Binary

If you installed the binary distribution from the release page or from SDKMAN!

$ layrry --layers-config staging/layers.toml --properties staging/versions.properties

JBang

$ jbang layrry@moditect --layers-config staging/layers.toml --properties staging/versions.properties

The plugins directory is located at staging. Copy plugins from staging/plugins-prepared.

$ cp -r staging/plugins-prepared/tile-* staging/plugins

Remove and add plugins from staging/plugins at any time to see dynamic behavior.
